Excerpt: ...ground, a bent tree at the side, and clouds in the heavens. Fallen on His knees, supported by His right hand on the ground, Jesus is endeavouring to rise; His left hand is resting 0n the cross-beam of the heavy cross, which is bound to His body by ropes. The crown of thorns is pressing His brows, while the long hair falls wildly down. The deepest suffering thrills through every line of His countenance, His mouth is opened as though the Saviour was on the point of crying aloud and had forcibly restrained the sound, and His eyes look from the picture riveting the spectator and appealing to him, "Weep not for Me." As the noblest representation of extreme agony, this figure might be called the German counterpart of the Laocoon. The plastic feeling with which Holbein displays the figure beneath the drapery, the masterly outline, which does not, however, as is often the case with Diirer's drawings and woodcuts, make the forms too round, the simple grandeur that pervades even the smallest detail, the distinction of the attitudes--all these show Holbein's superiority over Diirer as regards form. The precision and distinctness of the cutting, the great understanding of the drawing, the technical treatment of much of the detail--for example, the hair, or the little tree at the side--render it indubitable that this sheet was cut by Liitzelburger, who shows himself to be as great a master in stamp-cutting on a large scale, as in miniature work. A large woodcut, the Ilesurrection of Christ, consisting of eight separate sheets, is also only once to be met with, and is in the cabinet of engravings at Gotha.i Here also Holbem's mind meets us, although not quite so convincingly as in the former sheet. We do not doubt that the design originated...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Holbein and His Times The history of the art of the Middle Ages and of modern times demands special investigation. An outline is drawn round modern science; it is filled up by degrees as time progresses. An attempt to do this as regards art is the especial object of this work Contemporaries and posterity have eagerly occupied themselves with Albert Durer; but the records transmitted to us of Hans Holbein, the second great painter of his country, are more scanty. Up to the most recent period, his history was veiled in complete obscurity. Ulrich Hegner's work on Holbein, which appeared in 1827, corresponds with the stage at which the history of art at that time stood. It is an excellent guide to the study of the material existing in Basle, yet we must not forget that the author is neither a critical historian nor an experienced judge in artistic matters. Since Hegner s work, the master has been utterly neglected by art-investi-gators. Almost the only notice of permanent value respecting him is that contained in the works of G. F. Waagen, who never made it his special task to pursue historical investigations regarding an artist, but clearly recognized and pointed out all that was peculiar and essential in his creations. Not till late years has this state of things been altered. In England, owing to W. H. Black's archival researches, the discovery was made of the year of Holbein's death, and this was followed by the investigations of Mr. A. W. Franks and Mr. G. Scharf.
